Staff and Leadership

All that happens at Grace Church largely happens because of people like you. We are a cozy sized church family where

most ministries are volunteer-driven. In this sense, everyone at Grace Church is a “minister” contributing to the work of the Church in their own way at their own level of comfort. We also value the leadership of our pastor, other clergy and lay leaders who keep us oriented toward the future, each other, and most importantly, our God in Jesus Christ.

Here are a few of our key leaders:

Pastor:

The Rev’d Canon Dr. Kevin Goodrich, O.P.

Father Kevin has served as the pastor of Grace Church for the last five years and has brought his energy, passion for God, and sense of humor to our parish family. Prior to Grace he served Episcopal and Lutheran churches in PA, NJ, and CT. He and his wife Melissa have three cats.  

Senior Warden:
Phyllis Bratton

Phyllis is our senior warden (chief elected lay leader) and works as the librarian at Jamestown College. You’re just as likely to find Phyllis in the kitchen as you are in a meeting with the pastor. She and her husband Tim have three adult children and one grandchild.

Priest Associate:
The Rev’d Bart Davis

Father Bart has served Grace Church since his ordination and brings a wealth of experience from the many hats he has worn in life including: addiction counselor, farmer,
rancher, township supervisor, and businessman.  He and his wife Kathy have two adult children.
 
Priest Associate:
The Rev’d Eusty Cowardin

Mother Eusty has served Grace Church since her ordination and comes from a long time Episcopal family. Her career in nursing and involvement in hospice care are a wonderful source of wisdom for our parish family. She and her husband Lew have three adult children and several grandchildren.
